I purchased the car from the long time family owners and conducted a maintenance review of the car to get it back on the road.  The car was originally blue and remains that color today along with some primer.  The interior is white.  I have had many 240Z cars in the past and currently have two of them.  The underside of this car is clean and rust free.  This Z car runs and drives very well and would make a great car to drive or restore. The paint is old but there is no rust on this car except for the battery tray.  The dash does have a few small cracks. The hatch area is solid and very nice. The floors are solid and rust free. Previous owner removed the drip rails from the roof.  Review photos of the both outside and underneath. Yes, I drive the car around town but no, I would not drive it across the country, you can if you want.  The front wheels have a slight shimmy at 50 mph plus and may need some suspension bushings.  I will work with overseas buyers and have sold several cars outside the US.  This car is being sold with no reserve and a very reasonable starting price. I reserve the right to end the auction early if I receive a price that I feel is reasonable.

 

Pictures of the car can be viewed on my Photobucket link.  E-mail me for a link to my photo bucket.

Please  feel free to call me to ask questions or view the car prior to end of auction. My number is 916-764-9759. Thanks, Mike.

37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

When we think of comfy, long-distance road cars, there are a few obvious choices. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley Continental GT or, assuming fuel efficiency isn't paramount, a Range Rover are all good options for a road trip. But what if that road trip was 37,000 miles? Maybe something more reliable but still comfortable, then, like a Honda Accord. What about a 1967 Datsun Roadster?
As insane as it sounds, Scott Fisher is doing just that, running a Datsun 1600 Roadster across North America and racking up 13,500 miles in his first three months on the road. His total journey will see him pile over 37,000 miles on his red convertible. The car is lightly modified, but most of the work is for the sake of reliability and comfort, with a five-speed manual 'box, an upgraded radiator and electronic ignition.
Fisher's trip hasn't been all smooth, with a few typical bits of trouble. He also ran into some deer in Utah, quite literally, clipping one of the animals, which delivered quite a bit of damage to the passenger's front fender (hence the rear three-quarter view in our lead shot). Still, the car seems to be holding up well, as shown in this latest video from Petrolicious.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:
